Another week of school has come and gone. It was a very busy week for me and I never made it to the grocery store, so I'll admit that the lunch round up for this week is not too exciting. I was limited to whatever I had on hand. I didn't even think I'd be able to come up with a complete lunch for each day, but it all worked out okay.
frozen fruit puree on top of fresh fruit puree, salad, dressing
apple "fruit on the bottom" yogurt
edamame with Lemon Pepper, cucumbers, apple sauce
And now for the fun part! I'm so excited to be hosting my first ever blog party! It's a chance for all you Bento Mamas to share your great lunchbox ideas! I could browse through Bento lunch photos all day long. No, seriously. I really enjoy looking at all the creative ideas that people come up with! I also like to see all the different foods they choose, then I wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"
So here it is! The rules are very simple:
Link Up using a link to your actual post (not your blog's home page.) Give your lunch a name or short description.
Grab a Button from the choices below, or use text to link back to this page. Add it somewhere on your post. *Instructions below. (Yes, I went a little button-crazy. I got excited.)
Consider following this site via Facebook or Google Friend Connect. (It's not mandatory, but it would be nice. ;) )
Visit and Comment on fellow Bento moms' lunchbox ideas! Show them some love! Make a new friend! Get inspired!
*To add a grab button, highlight ALL text in the box underneath your chosen image. Hit Ctrl+C to copy. Go to your blog's posting/editing page. Click on "Edit HTML." Scroll down to the end of your post and hit Ctrl+V to paste the code. Voila! The button appears!
So does your child eat the pasta and rice dishes cold?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Yes, both of my kids eat their lunches cold. I try to encourage them to use the microwaves at school, but they both say they don't care if it's not warmed up. (It's strange. I know.) ;)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I just started doing Bento Box lunxhes for my 3rd grader. I haven't got a post up yet, so I'll have to come back. =)
ReplyDeleteI am loving finding all of these sites with lunch box ideas. I am using the "Easy Lunch Boxes" and just started looking for more creative ways to make lunches. I am following you on Facebook. If I ever get an entire week of bento lunches, I may link up. Right now, my kids are still buying lunch 1-2 times a week. Bad, I know.
ReplyDeleteRachelle, SOunds good! ;)
ReplyDeleteBarbie, Isn't it awesome!? And, oh my gosh, I was so far deep into the lunch rut last year, I nearly gave up! It was during one of those gazillion searches on the internet that I stumbled upon Easy Lunch Boxes, and the rest is history! I remember drooling over the lunch photo gallery and I couldn't wait till my order came in. And don't worry, just do what you can. You'll get into the swing of it soon. Perhaps the kids can help you find stuff to pack.... or at least help pack the stuff that you pick out. ;)
Thanks for hosting!! So great to find more fellow bento-inspired lunch makers. :)
ReplyDeleteI posted my most recent one! How fun! I love looking at all these beautiful lunches! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun these all are! If I had checked out the other links before linking up my own I may have chickened out. You all do AMAZING work!!!
